(DAC) allows to adjust the output voltage from
1.3V to 2.05V with 0.05V binary steps and from
2.1V to 3.5V with 0.1V binary steps. The high pre-
cision internal reference, digitally trimmed, as-
sures the selected output voltage to within +/-1%.
Thanks to the window comparator system, the de-
vice provides excellent load transient perform-
ance. The high peak current gate drive affords to

have fast switching to the external power mos,
performing an high efficiency. The L6911B as-
sures a fast protection against load overvoltage
and load overcurrent. An external SCR is trig-
gered to crowbar the input supply in case of over-
voltage. In case of output short circuit the soft
start capacitor is discharged and the system
works in hiccup mode.

Description
Connected to the output voltage is able to manage overvoltage conditions and the PGOOD
signal.
A resistor connected from this pin and the upper Mos Drain sets the current limit protection.
The internal 200

The soft start time is programmed connecting an external capacitor from this pin and GND.
The internal current generator forces through the capacitor 10µA. This pin can be used to
disable the device forcing a voltage lower than 0.4V.
Voltage Identification code pins. These input are open collector and TTL compatible. Are used
to program the output voltage as specified in Table 1 and to set the overvoltage and
powergood thresholds.
This pin is connected to the error amplifier output and is used to compensate the voltage
control feedback loop.
This pin is connected to the error amplifier inverting input and is used to compensate the
voltage control feedback loop.
All internal voltage reference are referred to this pin.
This pin is an open collector output and is pulled low if the output voltage is not within
±
10%
of the programmed voltage. This pin is forced high if the ”11111” VID is set.
This pin is connected to the source of the upper mosfet and provides the return path for the
high side driver. This pin monitors the drop across the upper mosfet for the current limit.
High side gate driver output.
Bootstrap capacitor pin. Through this pin is supplied the high side driver and the upper mosfet.
Power ground pin. This pin has to be connected closely to the low side mosfet source in order
to reduce the noise injection into the device.
This pin is the lower mosfet gate driver output.
Device supply voltage. The operative supply voltage range is 4.5V to 12V.
Do not connect V
IN
to 12V if V
CC
is 5V.
Over voltage protection. If the output voltage reach the 15% above the programmed voltage
this pin is driven high and can be used to drive an external SCR that crowbar the supply
voltage.
